Debbie has always had a passion for helping, teaching and caring for others. Since graduating from The George Washington University in 1985, she has done just that in various capacities, through both professional and volunteer positions. Debbie finds her current full-time job very fulfilling and plans on continuing until she retires, however, she’s recently begun to pursue a passion of hers in addition to her day job.

Debbie’s doing this because as a teenager she had to grow up really fast and take care of her disabled father for several decades. Now she takes care of her disabled husband and oldest son which led her to giving everything that she had and feeling angry, resentful, overwhelmed and exhausted along the way. 

When Debbie turned 50, she took a trip to Bermuda with her friends and for the first time felt like she could actually focus on herself. Since that time, she has slowly incorporated self-care into her daily routine and her life is transformed. Now she helps family caregivers learn to do the same.

When Debbie is not working, she enjoys volunteering.  She has worked with: NAMI-National Alliance for Mental Illness, Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Organization of Autism Research, GW alumni association, Clinton Township PTA and was a Clinton Township Board of Education member. Debbie is a recent past president of her synagogue and remains on their Board of Trustees. Debbie was the first treasurer of the BW NICE-Hunterdon County Chapter and is currently a BW NICE Corporate Ambassador.
